This event will have four main race parts:

The Main Event: The main event for the day will be a 5K or 5 Kilometer Off Road OCR (Obstacle Course Run) through a series of obstacles, mud and water challenges. This race should be a fun and challenging race, testing both participants speed, agility and stamina.

The Team Race: The main event will also include a 5K Team Race with its own "Best Dressed Competition" award in addition to the timed award. So get your family, friends, co-workers, classmates, sports team, or church group together and form a Casco's Ultimate Mud Challenge Team. Casco's Ultimate Mud Challenge Teams must consist of 4 or more racers, with no maximum. A minimum of 4 must register together to create the team, but additional members may be added later. Check out the Rules and Conditions page for complete details.

The Trail Run: There will be a 'Mud-Free' 5K race to start the day for runners who like 5Ks, but don't want to get muddy. As the property does not have any paved roads, it will still be some what off road but with a path that avoids most of the off-road challenges and all the water and mud hazards.

The Children of All Ages Fun Run: The final event of the day will be a 1K Fun Run for Children of All Ages. This will be an untimed fun run through some of the muddiest parts of the course and all finishers will get a participation award.

The Race Course: The Casco's Ultimate Mud Challenge will feature 15 – 20 physical challenges over a 5 Kilometers (3.1 Mile) course. The path will lead participants over large mud hills and down through ravine and streams. Challenges will test your upper body strength, make you splash in the mud and test your stamina.

Sneak Peaks:

Walk The Planks – Rope and board bridge floating on the water. Can you cross it and stay dry?

Monkey Bars – You know what they are. Grab ahold and swing along.

Teeter Totter – You got in trouble doing this on it back in school.

Rope Walk - Walk the tight rope. You have guildlines. This should be easy to stay dry, not.
